    Paul said: give thyself to reading of the scriptures

    Thank you for the challenge, Willie. I will get back to you once I have delved into its meaning.

    Paul said: give thyself to reading of the scriptures

    If that is the case, why does God put teachers in the body of Christ?

    Paul said: give thyself to reading of the scriptures

    We limit God if we ramble on forever and a day and no one understands what it is all about.

    Paul said: give thyself to reading of the scriptures

    I am sure you are convinced that you are right but what I said is based on empirical research, so I prefer its findings rather than some guestimate by someone who is not a university professor and hasn't spent years studying the subject. The more detail you have the shorter the sermon as you...

    Hunger and thirst

    Sorry but I could not resist it. I have been married 48 years.

    Paul said: give thyself to reading of the scriptures

    it is amazing how much the church ignores reality. When I was studying for my university degree they taught us that you only remember 20% of what you hear. You remember 90% of what you teach others. Many churches love the 20% bit and ignore the 90% bit. More would be accomplished and done...

    How much ungodly behavior do you see in the church?

    In this situation, most of them knew me as I had been involved in one way or another with the churches. In one case I was a founding member. In another attempt to unite them together I came up with the idea of a praise night. One of the members of one of the churches I was involved in was a...

    How much ungodly behavior do you see in the church?

    Not being cynical, but what church are you talking about? Quite frankly, a church might call itself a church but is it? I judged a church by what it does and sadly most do not do anything other than that which they have been doing for yonks and in most cases is a complete failure. I asked to...

    Paul said: give thyself to reading of the scriptures

    And that is...? it is presumptuous to think that everyone understands every word of scripture and bearing in mind what the scriptures say can have all sorts of meanings, so I am asking what is yours?

    Paul said: give thyself to reading of the scriptures

    You quoted scripture with no explanation or meaning. So I asked "And what...? In other words, what are you saying?

    Paul said: give thyself to reading of the scriptures

    I am not quibbling. I am stating fact (truth) which we should treasure above all else because it is the truth that sets us free, not almost the truth. If the bible was not complete until the canon of scripture was declared at various times by denominations from the 4th century onwards, how...

    Paul said: give thyself to reading of the scriptures

    I am not sure anyone is suggesting that. We are talking about those things that are written which of course ended with the book of Revelation, but that does not alter the fact that we and the church are ever evolving as we gain a greater understanding of the written word.

    Be still and know that I am

    In one church I was in, the pastor always prayed the same thing when he was praying for someone. His words were. "Stay close to him/her..." I was always puzzled by that as Jesus said he would NEVER leave us or forsake us. Which means of course that he was always close to us. That being the...

    That is for those who this is a problem to sort out. I merely posted the correct dictionary meaning of the word as some seemed to be confused about it.

    Paul said: give thyself to reading of the scriptures

    So you agree with me as you said the Old and New Testament. I said no because parts of it had not been written when those words were written. Almost is not the whole of the NT.

    THE WAR ON CHILDREN

    The other day I was reading an article about how many mothers are working full time in the workforce. It broke it down into various professions and detailed what percentage of the workforce were women. Apart from one or two professions like builders and manual workers, in most cases, the number...

    Binding and Loosing

    In my study of New Testament church life, which has been ongoing for about ten years, when we speak about spiritual authority today bears no resemblance to spiritual authority as expressed in the scriptures. One thing that stands out to me in the New Testament church is that you did not have a...
